[flyinghigh]

curious if other ppl here read his stuff and pls share ur favs so i can check them out if i haven't already

All his stuff is good. I like cat diary for a slice of life story about his wife and cats. His art is just so great.

uzumaki is one of his most famous works and i do think its quite good, i also rly like hellstar remina
i believe both of them are easy reads tbh
i havent read the original version but i have read junji itos adaptation of no longer human, however i must admit it was quite too dark for my taste even though i admired the artwork

i havent read the original bec im not big on books considering ion have the attention span for it so i directly read junji itos version

The Long Dream is my favourite

Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection Vol.14 Chapter 1: Long Dream - Mangakakalot

The first 2 volumes contain thematically linked but self-contained stories concerning Tomie - a beautiful young woman with the power to seduce and dominate any male, from small boys to elderly men. Later, the series leaves these characters behind and focuses on stand-alone gothic horror pieces...

Junji ito's work is incredible, immersive and captivating. Spirale is my favorite, true masterpiece.

With No Longer Human, I think either way works.

Reading the novel first will give you clarifications on the imagery that happens in the manga. Or reading the manga first will be fun trying to interpret it on your own. But I do really recommend reading the novel either way, its super super powerful and horrifying how much the author understands his nature.

also to answer op's question, the Enigma of Amigara Fault has to be the scariest for me. I'm not sure why but there this single panel that's stuck with me than his other works.
